Dissatisfaction with the Public Printer.
The Public Printer seems to be again sadly behind in the current work of his office. As yet none of the Congressional debates of the last session of Congress have yet been printed and ready for distribution. None of the laws passed by the last Congress have yet been printed. The Congressional Report for 1879 has not yet been issued. Generally, the office seems to be run in a loose shape, without any regard for keeping up the absolute current Congressional literature. Many complaints on this account are being made by members of Congress and others more directly interested.
